Chemical Structure

8-(2,3-Dimethoxyphenyl)-8-oxooctanoic acid CAS 898792-35-3 chemical structure

Description

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

8-(2,3-Dimethoxyphenyl)-8-oxooctanoic acid (CAS 898792-35-3), molecular formula C16H22O5 and molecular weight 294.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 8-(2,3-Dimethoxyphenyl)-8-oxooctanoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 294.34 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 8-(2,3-Dimethoxyphenyl)-8-oxooctanoic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
